Ok, so having created an entry for Australia (
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Access-Restrictions#Australia),
now does the above rule apply? That is, in Australia, according to the rules
I've written, is "highway=path, bicycle=designated, foot=designated"
equivalent to "highway=cycleway"?

I'll start a separate thread on the AU list where we can debate the access
restrictions.
